Prime 95 torture test question

[Jason_50]

I have a slightly overclocked Core i5 3570k (3.8mhz clocked up to 4.22mhz). Its normally sits around the 30 degree mark when idle and around the mid 50s to mid 60's when gaming. But when I torture tested it under Prime 95 core 1 occasionally goes up to 81 degrees, though most of them sit around the mind 70's. Should I be worried?

The torture test maxes out temperatures, it doesn't simulate gaming. I would not be worried.

Well that's a relief, this is the first time Ive overclocked my CPU and this is the hottest Ive ever seen it (It's water cooled) So I was freaking out a bit.

Yea, the torture tests is about 20C above my max temps while gaming.
